Tenney will host a song circle in the lobby at 7 p.m., which is also when doors open.

A statement posted on the Freight's website provides more details about the event:

"Pete's life has touched us all. We are all acutely saddened by his death and at the same time, deeply grateful for what he has given us. We expect many people will want to come together here at the Freight, to honor this beloved man and folk hero. We'll put out as many chairs as we can, and will accommodate as many people as safely possible. Some may have to stand, but at least we'll be together to say our `goodbyes' to Pete."

If you can't actually make it out to the show, there are other ways to experience this tribute to Seeger.

The show will stream live on Concert Window (www.concertwindow.com). It costs $1 to view the stream. Also, it will be broadcast live on KRCB (91 FM) and KPFA (94.1 FM and www.kpfa.org). The KPFA broadcast will be archived online for two weeks.

Also, if the Freight reaches capacity, there will be a viewing party of the live stream at the nearby East Bay Media Center.

New to Seeger's music? Here's a look at four of his most timeless songs:

1. "If I Had a Hammer" -- Seeger co-wrote the song with Lee Hays in 1949 as an anthem for the Progressive Movement and efforts to improve conditions for the working class. It was originally released as "The Hammer Song" by Seeger's group, the Weavers, and was later recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary, among many others.

2. "Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season)" — Simply put, this is one of the most amazing — and lasting — tunes in popular music history. Seeger drew the verses straight from the Bible, added a chorus and a closing line, and the result was pure folk music gold. The best-known version of this song was delivered by the Byrds, who hit No. 1 with "Turn! Turn! Turn!" in 1965.

3. "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" — This mesmerizing number addresses a similar theme as "Turn! Turn! Turn!," yet in much more somber fashion. It's a chilling meditation on life and death, with a heavy emphasis on the latter. It's been covered by everyone from Joan Baez and Harry Belafonte to Olivia Newton-John and Dolly Parton.

4. "We Shall Overcome" — Seeger greatly helped popularize this folk standard, which would become a key anthem for the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The song's roots can reportedly be traced back to the old gospel song "I'll Overcome Someday." Bruce Springsteen delivers a great version on his Seeger tribute album, "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions."
